The medical device on the bed kept beeping. Tao Lixiang, who had already turned white-haired, was sleeping peacefully on the bed with an oxygen mask on! Tao Xiaoxiao walked over and looked at him. He seemed to have aged a lot. His white hair had covered his entire head.
She sat down gently and looked at him.
Tao Li Xiang woke up from his sleep and opened his thick and thin eyelids. When he saw Tao Xiao Xiao, he was very excited and wanted to get up. However, his body was so weak that he panted heavily. Tao Xiao Xiao worriedly supported him with a pillow and let him lie down. However, her tone was extremely cold as she said,"If you can't move, lie down!"
Tao Lixiang looked at her and lay down obediently.
After a long time, Tao Lixiang's weak voice came from the oxygen mask. He said,""How's your job at school?"
Tao Xiaoxiao lowered her head and nodded.
"I'm glad that you can still come to see me, your father!”
Tao Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. She looked at the small cactus by the window.
"Did he look for you?" Tao Lixiang said. Of course, she knew that he was talking about Gong Yuze. She still chose not to speak.
"I told him you were here, so he went to look for you!”After a long time, Tao Lixiang said. Tao Xiaoxiao felt that there was no need to get to the bottom of this answer. She didn't want to know how Gong Yuze found her.
"Xiaoxiao, I know that I'm a failure as a father. I didn't take good care of you and let your mother down, so there's something I want to clarify with you.”Tao Lixiang looked at her and said. Finally, his words made Tao Xiaoxiao look at him.
"Forgive Yuze. He was forced to do this to you back then!”
"What?" Tao Xiaoxiao didn't understand.
"I still hope that you can walk together with him. Because it's him, I'm very relieved to leave you with him.”Tao Lixiang said," Do you remember Miss Zhou, the daughter of the chairman of the industrial and commercial business? That girl has always liked Yuze. Unfortunately, Yuze likes you. That girl is really scheming, that's why she drugged Yuze.”
"Drugged?" Tao Xiaoxiao said in surprise.
"You also know what happened after that. I know that you've always been bothered by that incident, so you ran away from him in fear. But Yuze really loves you.”
"When my mother loved you very much, what was the ending between the two of you?”Tao Xiaoxiao asked. She was a little surprised by Tao Lixiang's explanation, but she quickly hid it.
Tao Lixiang didn't say anything. He stared at her in a daze and couldn't stop talking. He really had nothing to say about her words.
"Have a good rest. I'll leave first!”Tao Xiaoxiao stood up and was about to leave when Tao Lixiang immediately stopped her and said,"When that child is found, I hope you can treat him well!”
"Have you found it?" Tao Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.
"Maybe soon. Yuze is also helping to find it!”Tao Lixiang's originally weak voice was so faint that it could not drift out, but she still heard it.
"You still can't let go of that woman and her child. Where were you when Mom needed you?”Tao Xiaoxiao scolded him, leaving Tao Lixiang speechless.
Tao Xiaoxiao looked at him indifferently and walked out. Tao Lixiang's helpless voice came from behind. He said,"No matter what, he's still your younger brother!" Tao Xiaoxiao walked out of the ward as if she didn't hear him. Tao Lixiang sighed.
Tao Xiaoxiao sat quietly on the stairs beside the hospital entrance. It was already evening. Gong Yuze had been waiting for Tao Xiaoxiao to come out of the car, but he saw her sitting there in a daze. Gong Yuze got out of the car and closed the door. He walked over, but she didn't see him coming. It wasn't until she saw a pair of men's shoes at the bottom of the stairs that she looked up and met his eyes.
He gave her a faint smile and said nothing.
She didn't say anything either. He just kept her company at a place not too far away from her, quietly.
After a long time, she asked,"Have you found the child?"”
"We've found the orphanage!"”
"Is that so?" It turned out that he could find it so quickly.
"Let's go home!" Gong Yuze said naturally.
Tao Xiaoxiao looked at him without saying anything.
Then, she followed him into the car. Gong Yuze seemed to be very satisfied that she no longer resisted him.
"Park the car at the school gate. I left my bag in the office!”Tao Xiaoxiao said. Gong Yuze didn't say anything. He made a turn and stopped the car at the school gate. Tao Xiaoxiao motioned for him to go back first, but he smiled and was willing to wait for her. She didn't say anything else and walked in.
When she took her bag from the office and walked out, she saw someone holding a flashlight on the huge track and field field, as if looking for something. As a teacher, she walked over, but the other party was shocked. Because the other party was holding a flashlight, she could not see the person's face. She could only see a beam of light shining on her. Then, she heard Dongyu's surprised voice,"Teacher Tao?"
"Student Dongyu?" Tao Xiaoxiao asked curiously," Why are you still in school? Are you looking for something?"”
"I dropped my phone, so I'm looking for it!”Dong Yu said anxiously, as if the phone was very important to him.
"You dropped your phone? Are you sure it's here?" Tao Xiaoxiao asked.
"I've searched everywhere I've been, but there's nothing. This is the only place left!”As Dong Yu spoke, he shone his light on the ground again, trying to find something.
"Tell me the number, I'll call!”Tao Xiaoxiao took out her phone and waited for Dong Yu to say the number. At this moment, Dong Yu said awkwardly,"Um, my phone is out of battery!”
Tao Xiaoxiao awkwardly put away her phone.
"Do you still want to look? It would be very difficult to find it in such a dark place!”Tao Xiaoxiao tried to persuade him. It was just a phone. If he lost it, he could just buy another one.
"Ms. Turner, you can go back first. I'll look around!”Dong Yu continued his search with the flashlight. Tao Xiaoxiao's voice came from behind him,""I'll help you find it!"
"There's no need. It's still me!" Dong Yu's rejection of her good intentions caused Tao Xiaoxiao to be displeased. Tao Xiaoxiao said," Do you want me to just watch and not do anything? You're my student after all. How can I not help you?!"”
Dong Yu looked at her awkwardly and scratched his head without saying anything.
Tao Xiaoxiao took out her phone and turned on the flashlight function to search the track. Dong Yu also continued to search helplessly.
Time passed slowly. Dong Yu and the others had circled the track and field field several times, but they couldn't find their phones. The entire track was clean, not even a single leaf or stone. Gong Yuze, who was waiting in the car at the school gate, kept looking at the time and resisted the urge to dial the number. In the end, he didn't dial it and chose to wait quietly.
"Are you sure? Student Dong Yu, we've already circled around several times, can we find him?”Tao Xiaoxiao asked in disbelief.
"Ms. Turner, you can go back first. I'll take a look!”Dong Yu said indifferently.
"Could it have fallen somewhere else? If it wasn't important, he could have bought a cell phone.”As soon as Tao Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Dongyu shouted excitedly,"That phone is very important to me!" Realizing that he had gone overboard, Dong Yu's voice softened." Thank you very much, Teacher. Why don't you go back first?"”With that said, she left with the flashlight and walked to another place to look. Tao Xiaoxiao stood rooted to the spot and stared blankly at the disappearing figure. It was only after a long time that she remembered that Gong Yuze was still waiting for her outside.
